In fact, if you're interested, there's a Fallout 3 mod called More Where That Came From which adds up to 100 similar-era songs to GNR's playlist. They're all MP3 format too.

I very much wanted to use that as GNR gets pretty painful after a while, but couldn't get it to work. There was some sort of a warbling thing going on. I'm sure I can thank Creative's wonderful Win7 support for that.

Anyway, I'm amazed that I actually recognize some of this music as I haven't played FO1/2 since they were new.

I am with DRM to counter pirating, but I am against it when only when it pause my enjoyment of the game, and that's like 1% chance as you said.

That may be the case right now when the game has just launched, but a couple of years down the line it might be 100% of the time. They have no obligation to keep the DRM servers online indefinitely or patch it away, and I sure as hell won't count on them to do so. I still regularly play games from the 90's, so I have a hard time accepting the attempt to turn games into throwaway commodities, which it kinda feels like.

He'll stay in parliament until the end of the term, but I understand the attorney general gig is separate from that, and he's already gone from that office. He's not going to be vetoing anything anymore.

Considering the garbage they're spewing regarding just about every aspect of this DRM issue, I can't help but suspect that trying to attribute their downtime to "DDoS attacks" is just a pathetic attempt to shift blame to something else than the fact that their system just doesn't work. I'd be surprised if their "attacks" were anything else than customers trying to futilely play their games, and the servers just not being able to handle it.
